Yesterday, Lin Chen had only issued a minor threat to Miao Yunfei.
Her father was mayor; a wrongful conviction wouldn't affect her much.
Lin Chen was very curious about Miao Yunfei's change in attitude today.
Looking at the stunning Miao Yunfei, Lin Chen rubbed his chin and asked, "Officer Miao, did you take the wrong medicine today, or did you not take it at all? Why are you apologizing to me?"
A flash of irritation crossed Miao Yunfei's eyes as she thought being accused of taking the wrong medicine was outrageous.
She masked her irritation, exhaled lightly, and said, "You misunderstood. I'm fine. I came today just to find out the truth about the rooftop fall case."
Zhang Tian'ai nodded and said, "Lin Chen, this case is now jointly handled by Serious Crime Unit Group 2 and Group 1. Sister Yunfei sincerely asks you to tell the truth."
Lin Chen scratched his head, stretched, and let the two beautiful detectives into his home.
"I'll go wash my face. You sit and wait," Lin Chen said, heading upstairs.
The two women waited in the living room for over twenty minutes, with Miao Yunfei pacing back and forth impatiently.
"It's said girls take longer to get ready, but how can washing your face be slower than a woman?" Miao Yunfei frowned, thinking this to herself.
After more than half an hour, Lin Chen still hadn't come down. Zhang Tian'ai got anxious and went upstairs to check.
She came down soon, looking speechless.
"Why is Lin Chen so slow?" Miao Yunfei hurriedly asked.
Zhang Tian'ai shrugged and said, "That guy seemed to have not slept well. I went up and saw he hadn't washed yet, and then he went back to sleep..."
Miao Yunfei's forehead had a few black lines — this guy, can't he be more reliable?
"But Sister Yunfei, don't worry. I already woke him up," Zhang Tian'ai added.
A few minutes later, Lin Chen came downstairs with a carton of milk.
He walked straight to the sofa and sat down. Miao Yunfei asked, "Lin Chen, can you tell us the truth about the rooftop fall case now?"
Lin Chen held a straw in his mouth and looked at Miao Yunfei. "I'm curious why you care so much about this case. With your status, this case shouldn't mean much, right?"
Zhang Tian'ai glanced at Miao Yunfei, sharing the same thought. After yesterday, she thought the case was nearly over and that Miao Yunfei wouldn't come asking Lin Chen for help.
But early this morning, Miao Yunfei came to Zhang Tian'ai, asking to be taken to Lin Chen.
Miao Yunfei avoided Lin Chen's gaze and said, "I just want to know the truth, Lin Chen. If you really find it, consider it as me owing you a favor."
"Your favor isn't worth much, but your father's favor might be," Lin Chen said, finishing the milk and tossing the carton into a small trash bin ten meters away.
The milk carton landed perfectly in the bin, but the two women thought it was just luck and paid no mind.
Hearing Lin Chen's assessment of her and her father, Miao Yunfei was displeased inside but kept it hidden.
Lin Chen noticed the change in Miao Yunfei's attitude and knew there must be a reason.
But he didn't want to dig into it. He had wanted to solve this case anyway, and since Miao Yunfei had lowered her stance and come, he'd solve this interesting case.
Lin Chen said to Miao Yunfei, "Immediately check if the deceased, Wang Xuefeng, purchased a plane ticket to Sanya."
Hearing the case mentioned, Miao Yunfei perked up and asked, "A plane ticket to Sanya? Why check that all of a sudden?"
"Don't ask yet. Just check," Lin Chen said.
Miao Yunfei put away her curiosity, dialed a phone, and asked the person on the other end to check if Wang Xuefeng had bought a ticket.
A few minutes later, the call returned. Miao Yunfei looked surprised and said, "Wang Xuefeng did book a ticket to Sanya for next Friday."
Zhang Tian'ai's mouth slightly opened in surprise. She asked, "Lin Chen, how did you know Wang Xuefeng booked a ticket to Sanya?"
"It's simple," Lin Chen said. "Yesterday I went to the deceased's room and found several tourism brochures on the desk. You should've seen me pick them up, right?"
"Yes," Zhang Tian'ai replied. "You asked me for gloves first so you wouldn't contaminate the fingerprints in his room."
Miao Yunfei recalled that when Lin Chen went to pick up those materials, she had sternly told him to put them down.
Lin Chen said, "Those brochures were all about Sanya, including recommended travel spots, marked with numbers to indicate priority."
"Also, the brochures had many creases, so I judged the deceased was planning to travel recently."
The two women fell silent, saying nothing for a moment.
"Officer Miao, your previous conclusion was that the deceased committed suicide or died accidentally. Let me ask you, would someone who booked a trip for next week commit suicide?" Lin Chen asked.
Miao Yunfei nodded, "Yes, that was our oversight. But if he didn't commit suicide, he likely accidentally fell from the rooftop."
"He didn't accidentally fall. He was murdered!" Lin Chen declared.
